Large Format lenses illuminate a very wide circle of illumination: not only larger than a typical digital sensor, but larger than the typical digital camera! Large Format images require only modest enlargement. On the other hand, lenses designed for digital photography only need to illuminate a comparatively tiny sensor. Thanks to Schneider's large format lens data, we can compare large format image quality to 35mm. The MTF curve on the left is for the 150mm f/5.6 Schneider Apo-Symmar lens, focused at infinity at f/22. It could be a little better than actual lens performance because it's derived from computer simulation.

Fujinon Lenses Large Format

THE WORLD'S MOST COMPLETE FUJINON LARGE FORMAT LENS LISTTHE WEB'S MOST COMPLETEFUJINON LARGE FORMAT LENS LISTSince you are viewing this page, you are probably aware of the greatlines of large-format lenses that Fujinon made - and unfortunately no longermake! But on the other hand, maybe you are new to Fuji's lenses andwant to find out more. Well, to start, let's go back a bit in time.Over 30 years ago, Bob Shell, an editor for, hadto say about Fuji's large format lenses.On the pages below, you will find the best, most comprehensive informationavailable on the web about these numerous lenses - all the way back to the1930's! However, this information is still not 100% complete and mostcertainly there are some inaccuracies. The information has largelybeen gleaned from Fuji literature, but the Fuji literature contains obviouserrors. These have been corrected, where known, but others still exist.Fuji lenses evolved over time, and this has led to numerous variationsin their lenses - both internally and externally - as you will see.

Forexample, their 150mm f5.6 lens can be found with and without EBC coating,with a 46mm filter thread, a 52mm filter thread, a 55mm filter thread, andeven a 67mm filter thread! Some had Copal shutters and others had Seikoshutters, but the shutters changed and 'improved' over time, as well. Allof these differences and changes have led to plenty of confusion -some of which will be sorted out on these pages.

You can also find a lot of useful information at!But, moving right along, here's what we have to offer on this sitetoday:.KEYS TO THE LISTS:. SERIES: The series is the general designation given to thelens by Fuji. Different series had different purposes, even thoughtheir specs (focal length, f-stops, shutter, etc.) might appear to bethe same or very similar. Unfortunately, the series codes are oftenconfused and confusing. To begin with, Fuji often designated differentseries with similar letters, such as the 'W' series, the 'S' series, the'SW' series, the 'W S' series, and the 'SW S' series.

Some of theselenses might be exactly the same, somewhat similar, or very different. Inaddition, Fuji would often mark the lens and the box it came in with differentlens letters, so the lens might be marked 'A', but the box might be marked'AS'. In addition, Fuji would often mark the lenses from differentseries exactly the same; for example, the 'NSW' lenses and the 'SW' lensesare both marked 'SW'. To top it off, there is some questionable,as well as obviously erroneous, material in some of the Fuji literature -and some of the Fujinon lenses that are known to exist, do not appear inany of the Fuji literature! So we end up with a mish-mash of information,some of it correct and some not, and all of it being passed around to theuninformed as correct. Hopefully these pages will answer some of thequestions and clear up some of the confusion. The Rectar series was Fuji's first series of lensesfor large format cameras.
